You don't need much.... your phone and a charger with a long cord....chapstick and that's about it....the hospital will supply the rest. Good luck to you!

I brought. . .

PJs

Slippers

Lipbalm

Breath Mints (sugarfree)

Toiletries

Lots of folks recommend things to keep you busy (phone, magazines, etc.)

I decided not to do so. Instead I was going to get up and walk when I was bored. Worked like a charm. Was able to be home mid-day the day after surgery. Would have been earlier but discharge process of hurry up and wait put a snag in things.

I agree with @@kmorri, you don't need much. Chapstick and slip on slippers is all I would have needed. I didn't even look at my phone.

I brought chapstick (used once), listerine strips (never used), slippers (never used), iPad (used constantly), phone (used occasionally), chargers (overnight), book (finished in a morning and got another book from spouse, which I also finished), notepad (never used), fresh underwear (daily), t-shirt (second day), toothbrush/toothpaste (twice daily).
